When New Delhi-based fashion designer Apoorva Gupta, 30, met businessman Uvraj Bardeja, 29, neither could have predicted they would be wed exactly a year later. A whirlwind courtship followed, and in December 2024, they tied the knot at historic Six Senses Fort Barwara.
In a candid chat, the two share the rush of putting it all together in under two months. From fits to themes, here’s how it all came together to make a memorable three-day affair.
The Proposal
Apoorva Bardeja: I met Uvraj in December 2023, at his best friend’s wedding, and we got married a year later. Last year we had gone on a lot of hikes, escaped to a lot of mountains; it really brought us together. During a holiday with some friends, we went to Austria for a few days, and he proposed while we were on a mountain. There was a picnic spread, and the view was beautiful. He even got a photographer to hide out up there. Honestly, that was the best moment for me.
Uvraj Bardeja: It was at a hotel called Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, a really beautiful place that I’ve been visiting with my family since we were kids. She had no idea that I would propose, though. So, when we reached the top, where the picnic was, she was like, oh, maybe someone else is sitting here. Once she realised, of course, she started crying.
